About Jill Harper

Partner at Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer | Co-Founder of Focus | Trial Lawyer | Startup Founder I’m a trial lawyer and entrepreneur based in Columbia, Missouri. At Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer, I focus on serious injury and wrongful death litigation—including securing a $45 million jury verdict, the largest single-plaintiff verdict in Missouri in 2017, and a recent $5 million wrongful death settlement in a jail neglect case that made national news. I’m also the co-founder of Focus, a legal tech startup born out of Missouri Startup Weekend, where our pitch won first place and caught the attention of Redbud VC. Focus enables virtual focus groups and streamlines juror recruitment, case presentation, and feedback—giving attorneys fast, actionable insights. We’re proud to be part of Columbia’s vibrant startup scene, which has produced companies like Veterans United, Zapier, and EquipmentShare. Focus has already been spotlighted by The Columbia Missourian and Redbud VC as one of the city’s most promising ventures—with the potential to become Columbia’s next billion-dollar company. Named one of Columbia’s most powerful women by Vox Magazine, I’m committed to combining high-stakes litigation with innovation that moves the legal field forward.
